 # About
 
-Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.
+Hi! You can call me **Ety** (ˈɛti).
 
-(We’ll revisit this… in time.)
+I'm a millennial technologist from Texas.
+
+When spoken about, 'they/them' pronouns are preferred. My feelings on this are strong, but not militant. Happy to talk about it (or not).
+
+
+## Perks
+
+( do I have redeeming qualities? this one is harder. )
+
+
+## Quirks
+
+Writing about myself is difficult, and repeated/frequent use of first-person subject pronouns make me uncomfortable. It sometimes leads to an unsual series of subject-implied sentences. Where possible, context is arranged to avoid ambiguity.
+
+Some social situations are difficult for me. Large groups, small noisy groups, and situations in which behavior is difficult to predict, especially with respect to various 'social relaxants,' tend to put me on edge.
+
+Being in photos makes me uncomfortable, and has since being quite young. Unavoidability of appearing in random photos acknowledged, I have no tolerance with people who deliberately try to strip my agency in this, and have ended relationships over it.
+
+
+
+## Socials
+
+As one might expect after reading this site, my participation in corporate social media is deliberately pretty minimal. That said, always happy to make a new connection on the Fediverse:
+
+* `ety@hive.institute` - Projects & Streaming; retrolab, phones, electronics, self-hosting, 
+* `n0ety@mastodon.radio` - Amateur Radio; low-traffic, mostly interested in POTA, SOTA, and SSTV.
+* `ety@corteximplant.com` - Personal Account; random thoughts and posting about real life happenings.
+
+## Other Sites
+
+* [https://ety.cybre.stream](https://ety.cybre.stream) - Self-hosted livestreaming. Mostly video games, sometimes lab time, occasionally crafting.
